    Titan is definitely a good choice, but it has its learning curve. The documentation may lack in places, and you might have to muster answers from different sources and technologies. But at its core, it does the job of storing and querying graph databases really well. Remember that titan itself is not the whole component, but utilizes other technologies like cassandra, gremlin, tinkerpop, etc to do many other things, and each of them has a learning curve. I would recommend titan for a team, but not for a single person. For single developer, go with Neo4j.

    • Titan is really good for abstraction of underlying infrastructure. You can choose between different storage engine of your choice.
    • Open source, backed by community, and free.
    • Supports tinkerpop stack which is backed by apache.
    • Uses gremlin for query language making the whole query structure standardized and open for extension if another graph database comes along in future.

    Cons
    IBM
    • More tech support may make it easier as it is only limited to be done via company representatives
    • Overhead cost for replacements and services looks like it is high compared to others
    • Integration with other cloud based application will be great

    • The community is lacking deep documentation. I had to spend many nights trying to figure many things on my own. As graph databases will grow popular, I am sure this will be improved.
    • Not enough community support. Even in SO you might not find many questions. Though there are some users in SO who quickly answer graph database questions. Need more support.
    • Would love an official docker image.

    Netezza is sufficient against similar products. It comes down to personal preference, I'd love to have the data objects popping up as I type but some people may not like it.

    To be honest, titan is not as popular as Neo4j, though they do the same thing. In my personal opinion, titan has lot of potential, but Neo4j is easier to use. If the organization is big enough, it might choose titan because of its open source nature, and high scalability, but Neo4j comes with a lot of enterprise and community support, better query, better documentation, better instructions, and is also backed by leading tech companies. But titan is very strong when you consider standards. Titan follows gremlin and tinkerpop, both of which will be huge in future as more graph database vendors join the market. If things go really well, maybe Neo4j might have to support gremlin as well.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • The appliance is all in one so we have all licenses and support contracts under one roof.
    • The cost is expensive so ROI may take time to be realized.
    • If done correctly, then Netezza provides the opportunity for huge ROI.

    • Steep learning curve. Your engineers would have to spend lots of time learning different components before they feel comfortable.
    • Have to plan ahead. Maybe this is the nature of graph databases, but I found it difficult to change my schemas after I had data in production.
    • It is free, so time is the only resource you have to put in titan.
